Collingwood Wi-Fi Control for Colour Change Lighting
This is the Wi-Fi half of Collingwood's colour change control range, catalogue code CCRFCONVWIFI. One thing worth knowing before you order: it is a small plug in unit rather than a switch plate on the wall. It joins your network and turns a phone or tablet into the controller for Collingwood RGB and RGBW lights, which is what most people are actually after when they go looking for a Collingwood colour change Wi-Fi controller. Anyone who has spent ten minutes hunting for a mislaid handset will see the appeal.
The Unit Itself
The casing is plain white plastic with softly rounded corners and a low profile, small enough to tuck out of sight beside a router or on a shelf in a plant room. One end carries a modular socket for the signal lead and a round jack for the 12V DC supply, and that is the whole of it. Overall size is 110mm long by 85mm wide and 25mm deep. It sits alongside the other controls in the same family, the handheld CCREMOTEB remote and the CCWALLRFW and CCWALLRFB wall controls, so app control and a physical control point can happily coexist on one installation.
How It Works
Collingwood's colour change fittings talk to their receivers over radio frequency, which means there is no signal cable to run back to a central controller. This unit bridges that RF system across to Wi-Fi. Power it from a 12V DC supply, connect either directly to it or through your own wireless network, then open the Collingwood RGBW app on iOS or Android. From there you choose solid colours, set brightness, run colour cycles and group fittings into zones. The app handles one to eight separate zones, so a garden, a terrace and a driveway can each be set differently from the same screen. It is a control accessory and not a light fitting, so it does nothing on its own until it is paired with compatible Collingwood colour change products.
Where It Works Best
Most installers put this somewhere dry and central rather than on show. A hallway cupboard, a utility room, a plant room or a garage wall near the drivers for the outdoor lighting all work well, provided the spot is within reach of the wireless network and has somewhere to plug in the power supply. It is a common addition to garden schemes where Collingwood RGBW ground lights or wall lights are already in place and a handset on its own has stopped being enough. Because the rating is IP20 it has to stay indoors or inside a properly sheltered enclosure, even though the lights it drives may well be out in the weather.
About Collingwood Lighting
Collingwood designs and manufactures its LED products in Sywell, Northamptonshire, and has worked in LED technology alone since 2002. The brand states it was among the first to put fire rated, fully sealed for life and mains dimmable LED products in front of the UK electrical wholesale trade. It also holds an EcoVadis Gold medal, placing it in the top 5% of all companies assessed worldwide for sustainability.
Good to Know
- Covered by a 5 year Collingwood guarantee.
- Rated IP20, meaning it is protected against fingers and larger solid objects but has no protection against water. Indoor or sheltered positions only.
- Runs from a 12V DC supply, so it is a low voltage accessory rather than a mains item.
- Designed for Collingwood RGB and RGBW colour change products on the RF system. It will not control fittings from other brands.
- Colour and brightness are handled in the app and at the RF receivers, so no separate wall dimmer belongs on the circuit.
- Measures 110mm x 85mm x 25mm, so allow a clear shelf or surface for it rather than burying it in a crowded consumer unit cupboard.
- Wipe the casing with a dry cloth only. No sprays or cleaning products.
- Moonlight Design recommends installation by a registered NICEIC electrician for the lighting circuits, drivers and receivers this unit controls.
Questions People Ask
Is the Collingwood CCRFCONVWIFI a wall plate or a separate box?
The Collingwood CCRFCONVWIFI is a small standalone unit measuring 110mm x 85mm x 25mm that runs from a 12V DC supply, not a switch plate. Collingwood's wall mounted colour change controls are the separate CCWALLRFW and CCWALLRFB models, which require a 240V AC supply.
How many lighting zones can the Collingwood RGBW app control?
With the CCRFCONVWIFI Wi-Fi converter in place, the Collingwood RGBW app controls one to eight separate lighting zones, and each zone can be set to its own colour and brightness.
Which app controls Collingwood colour change lights over Wi-Fi?
The Collingwood RGBW app is the application used to control Collingwood colour change lighting through the CCRFCONVWIFI unit, and it is available for both iOS and Android devices.
Can a handheld remote still be used once this is fitted?
Yes. Collingwood's RF receivers can each be paired with up to eight control devices, so the CCRFCONVWIFI can run alongside a handheld CCREMOTEB remote or a CCWALLRF wall control on the same lighting installation.
Can the CCRFCONVWIFI be mounted outdoors with the garden lights?
No. The CCRFCONVWIFI carries an IP20 rating, which gives no protection against water, so it must be sited indoors or inside a suitably weatherproof enclosure even when the colour change lights it controls are outside.
